North Padre Island

We arrived early in the morning and we were almost completely alone on the beach.

The water was really nice. Much warmer than I expected. We were told upon entering the park about a special way to walk because stingrays like to rest in this area. We didn't get to see any sea creatures at all.

But we did see lots of little sand crabs

and the seagulls were plentiful

There were all kinds of birds and wildlife everywhere we went.

This little momma ground squirrel came up close to get a snack. Just as I threw her a bit of bread a seagull swooped out of no where and stole it. Naughty seagull!

There is just something about the beauty of the seashore that soothes and nourishes my spirit.

Try the Pelican (time share) on Mustang Island. Just over the hill from the beach and lovely. We stayed there for long weekends when we lived in Austin and I so miss it....we're Texas natives living here in CO...and I'm going to miss the bluebonnets again this year.
